Once inside the roost I see Thowra sitting in a corner along with the rest of the young. His mother sniffs at me and then sniffs at the children. "*whispers* hello Goldwing..." I say while petting her nose. "*peeks around* the dragons are on full alert. I hope that they want to protect us too."
"*snorts* if we don't, Zhepphyr would curse us from his grave..." Goldwing suddenly said. I gaze at her in surprise and then smile. "*giggles* I thought he had learned you to talk, that was his main purpose." I say while going to the back of the roost. Goldwing then sits down near the entrance followed by several other females. And then Shishelinda freezes as she notices the new dominant male. A black dragon with yellow eyes. "*whispers* oh lord, that is one huge dragon..."
"*sniffs* I may look big but i'm not that bad. I hardly left the roost since my wing still needs to heal. Isil I'm sorry about Zhepphyr, he were a wise dragon and courageous. I gave my place as dominant male to him to secure new blood in the kind...and the result is very satisfying."
"*nods* I know, he has told me that you took a step aside without any fight, and i thank you, Myrmidor." I respond before sitting down in the nest. Shishelinda gazes at the dragon and then asks. "I've never seen him before where did he came from?"
"He arrived the night when Zhepphyr died, before that he remained at a distance, after all a roost can't have two dominant males. But the cries of the females made him clear that he were welcome again. And now he's here." I answer while checking my children. "But if he's the male, why can't he protect the roost?"
"*shakes head* not wise, one female or three can be replaced but, the male is more difficult since it takes a while before male dragons are adult, the females are faster in maturing. they can mate after their first lifeyear, males have to wait until they are three..." I explain. Shishelinda nods and then looks into the direction of the entrance.

Outside battle had begun and the archers under the command of Uther fired salvo after salvo to stop the undead which advanced in waves. "*kills a few* the second wave is advancing, stand ready boys!!!!!!" Uther shouted while releasing another arrow. Tvalarish had changed back into his dragonform and burned the undead with his firebreath. Gonfindl and Golradir fought side by side covering eachothers backs. "*points* look, they are spreading, be on your guard Uther..." Golradir began but then noticed the red glow of a fire. "*shouts* They are trying to burn down the village!!!!!!" By these words Uthers group split in two and then rushed to the other side of town to deal with the attackers there followed by both men. But as they approached the burning house Golradir froze. "*trembles* the...the bakery!!!!!! the bakery is on fire!!!!" he then exclaimed. Gonfindl then rushed closer while shouting my name. However a few undead blocked his path and he had to fight his way trough. "*shouts* No this can't be, the bakery, Uther!!!!!!"
"*gazes in horror to the burning inferno* Oh God...no this can't be..." Uther whispered. Gonfindl tried to get inside but Uther held him "No friend, you can't do anything... watch out!!!!" he noticed while an undead tried to jump upon both men. An arrow however killed it before it even could do something. "thanks Garulf" Uther spoke When suddenly the roof of the bakery collapsed. Both Golradir and Gonfindl shout in despair as the whole house goes into flames. "*whispers* they had no chance..." Uther noticed. But then had to concentrate again when another wave broke trough. Both men nod at eachother and then resume the fight. Not knowing that I sit inside the roost and embrace Shishelinda who said "you can re-built the bakery..."
